Adding 2 colenys together?

[andy1985]

I have a colney of 7 strips maybe 10 i think just wanted to know if i can put 2 colenys together?

Not if you want breeding. I have also heard of groups of 6 stripes killing 7. No explanation to why.

 

[andy1985]

what if they are to groups of 7 strips?

 

[mike dunagan]

How big will the tank be?

 

[andy1985]

my 6ft so i could have total of 15.

 

[mike dunagan]

It can work, but I worry about the males... Keep an eye on aggression.

 

[andy1985]

Oh of course i would sell on if i have to many males.

 

[mike dunagan]

I would worry about setting the new pecking order. So some at first is okay. You will have two alphas and two beta males. They will have to figure out who is where. The best bet would be pull the alpha male in one and sell it.

could i mix Zaire Blue with my 7 strips?

If you mix you will have to cull the fry.
